uses for wetwipes

Karnam

so I have 26 pks of wetwipes. as my little one is 5 months old, 26 pks are enough for another years worth of bottom wiping so good for upto toilet training.

thing is, i have enough coupons for another 16pks of wetwipes.

normally i use quite a lot at the music festivals but i cant see me going to many with baby! should i get another 16 for bambina no2 in 2/3 yrs time? should i get another 16 more as i'll use them for lotso f things? all i use them for at the moment is wiping up little one's face and little one's table when she's had her cube of food, as well as wiping her botty! do these come in useful later on? can i store these for 2/3yrs? thanks guys

I use them to clean shoes as they are brilliant for getting dirty marks off white trainers and DD dance shoes

and as long as they are unopened I can't see why they won't last

I'm not sure how large your packs are but I certainly couldnt last till toilet training with 26 packs, lucky you!

We have laminate flooring in the living room which gets very messy very fast (part of having a 16 month old!) and find wipes are great for clearing little marks up when I dont have time to mop.

If that's the same wet-wipe, no wonder you aren't using them fast enough. But little one will be very pleased you are doing the wiping in that order! :rotfl:

Seriously - if unopened, they do keep.

brill, i can easily see me using them in a few years or so. i wasnt sure how much higher my wetwipe usage will be in a few months time as we've only just started weaning.

my coupons means it works out as johnsons and johnsons extracare wetwipes (the green ones) on BOGOF are around 84.5p each rather than £2.69 each!

at the mo we refill the wetwipe holder every fortnight or so.

I've found that wet wipes are great to get stains off carpets... and for dusting! They're much cheaper than proper furniture wet wipes and get tonnes of dust off everything without leaving streaks or too much moisture...

I keep a packet in the car all the time; they're brilliant for wiping down the dashboard when it gets dusty, cleaning hands after filling up the car with diesel etc, etc. They're also good for wiping grubby bits off the dogs when they've been walking and for cleaning up round their slobbery chops. Oh, and for wiping up the strings of slobber that fly about the car when they shake their heads :eek:

But if the wipes live in the car they really need to stay in a box rather than just in the packet, cos cars warm up in the sun and this can dry the wipes up.

My 8 month DD has started eating finger foods. The food gets everywhere - fingers, highchair, floor, clothes, face, some actually gets eaten too . I never really used to get through too many wipes but since she's started learning to eat with her own hands my useage of wipes has mutiplied. I bought 64 packs about 4 months ago when there was a glitch on the boots website which meant I only paid for 16 :rotfl: .

I'd say get as many packs as you can. I'm sure they're gonna come in for those little sticky hands for a few years to come.
